AFAIK *no* O/S supports an ebook format. It's the reader software that supports the format. So that would need to be a rather complicated matrix, starting with the O/S, showing what software exists for it, and then showing what formats are supported by the software.

(Note: text might be an exception to the above, although I'm not actually certain. A big question is what constitutes the O/S? For instance, most, if not all, versions of Windows include Notepad. Let's say they all do, for argument's sake. Does that make it a part of the O/S? I'd say no-because you can delete it & the O/S will still work. But others might say yes because all versions come with it. Dealer's choice, I guess.)
